Tunnel project admin@bmcanj.com In 2023, the Beiqiu Museum of Contemporary Art unveiled a hidden annex within its premises, serving as a brand-new exhibition space. It launched the "Tunnel Project," inviting young creators to participate based on their interpretation of the tunnel space located on one side of a mountain, presenting site-specific individual artist projects. The Tunnel Space is located alongside the main exhibition hall of BMCA and is a narrow space (about 3 meters wide and 20 meters long) resembling a tunnel, with one side facing a mountain. We have preserved the space's original load-bearing beams and old pipes, only renovating the walls and adding lighting tracks. This maintains the potential for various experimental interventions in this space. The "Tunnel Project" is characterized by the keywords: youthful, experimental, and local. As an art museum, we aim to provide young artists with opportunities to showcase their creations, while also addressing the urgency of self and locality.In this project, we do not limit the mediums of the artwork and are even more encouraging of experimental mediums, hoping these works will exhibit an unusual energy in this unique space.

beyond genius: picasso's passion and creation 2023.8.13-2023.11.13 artist: pablo picasso curator：wang chunchen Pablo Picasso (Málaga, Spain, 25 October 1881 - Mougins, France, 8 April 1973), is one of the great geniuses of 20th century art, with unlimited talent and a voracious need to create. His imagination feeds on everything around him. His inspiration finds its sources in ancient cultures, in distant civilizations, or in the environment that surrounds him. He takes the simplest forms of everyday life and turns them into art. This Picasso' Passion and Creation exhibition brings the visitor closer to the ingenious universe created by the artist through his paintings, etchings, ceramics and photographs. Picasso was equally skillful at all of these techniques; he worked on new approaches to Art that led to innovative creative processes and pioneer forms of expression.As a painter, he started out from Academicism, he created Cubism, and passed through Classicism,Surrealism and Expressionism in what was a constant process of change and rupture, in his never-ending quest for freedom. The human figure, or more specifically portraits, and still lifes were Pablo Picasso’s main themes throughout his career.His drawings and etchings are one of the most important parts of his career, perhaps because it depicted the restless and risky, tenacious and passionate spirit that characterised him. For Picasso, engraving provided the means with which to depict his most profound desires, emotions and thoughts. Everything imaginable and even everything he failed to acknowledge as imagined is reflected in his graphic works. The different personal and artistic obsessions that haunted him throughout his life find an escaperoute here and allow us to track him through each phase of his life and his creative art. Picasso’s graphic art comprises more than 2000 works. He frequently used a mixture of techniques, such as etching and drypoint, or etching and aquatint. As a ceramist, Picasso established an open dialogue with his sculptures. Ceramics allowed him to exercise his drawing skills, his extraordinary dexterity as a painter, and his subtle talent at modelling shapes. Itsplastic flexibility, together with an avant-garde spirit and his capacity for innovation, carry it beyondtraditional consideration of pottery as a craft to attain the category of Art. Picasso is undoubtedly the most revolutionary and tireless artist of the 20th century. With his creativeforce and his artistic potential, he challenged the norms of his day and broke new ground in the Historyof Art. pablo picasso Artist Pablo Picasso(25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker , ceramicist , and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France . One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture ,[8] [9] the co-invention of collage , and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War . wang chunchen Curator Professor, PhD supervisor, Doctor of Art History, art critic, and curator. Graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, currently working at the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, engaging in research on modern art history and contemporary art theory and criticism. In 2012, appointed as a special curator by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, where they curated an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art. Art in America magazine referred to them as "the first Chinese curator from mainland China to be appointed by an American art museum."

TEstimony for the future special exhibition artist：gao lei & li nu In previous exhibitions at BMCA, the tunnel space was used for young people to work on personal projects. However, this time, since we have two artists, and especially because Gao Lei is particularly interested in the tunnel, he has taken over the space. Although the tunnel may seem small in size, there are actually quite a few works displayed inside. The main focus is a commissioned creation of five pieces located close to the mountainside. The images depict objects, but they are metaphors for human experiences. The hanging method resembles the aesthetics of train windows. The entire exhibition leads up to the second-to-last piece, located down the steps of the tunnel. It is a work by Gao Lei , designed in the style of a mani stone pile. This piece is an organic fusion of natural and crafted materials that he collected around Shanghai, combined with materials gathered during his travels to Tibet. We know that in Tibet, mani stone piles usually appear on high-altitude plateaus, but this time, we have placed the work at the lowest point of the entire North Hill, creating a dual contemplation—both upward and downward—between this piece and Li Nu’s work.

testimony for the future 2024.3.30-2024.6.30 Artist：Gao lei, li nu curator: zhu zhu The concept of the exhibition is inspired by the difference between the space of Beiqiu Museum ofContemporary Art and that of the “White Box”. As an artistic space transformed from an air-raidshelter, the art museum retains the previous structural characteristics and sense of historical relicsas well as its geographic environment that is inseparable from the Jilongshan Mountain. The spaceof the "air-raid shelter" is treated as a place where Gao Lei and Li Nu store and exchange theirworks. One day, far in the future, upon looking back, the door of the “shelter” would be opened,displaying testimony for the collective memory and reflection of the two intersecting individuallives as well as of the present era. ,Li Nu, Warm/September , 2022, Nichrome wire, silica glass, electricity, 525×95×25cm, Courtesy of the artist and SPURS Gallery Gao Lei, The Door of Perception , 2016, Bronze, stainless steel, Overall: 225×284×23cm; Durian: 30×23×20cm; Hot Water Bag: 36×19.5×9cm, Private Collection In the specific structural arrangement of the exhibition, works of the two artists are organicallygrouped together to form direct thematic dialogues, superimposed visual tensions, or understandableinterconnections, weaving the two independent forms of individual creations into a bare thread inthe tunnel of time and space. In terms of their respective methodologies, Gao Lei's expression hasthe constant appearance of rational thinking, while Li Nu constantly shifts between lightness andheaviness, silence and explosion. Their works are both witnesses to reality and metaphysicalinquiries. Compared with the local conceptual artists of the previous generation, Gao Lei and Li Nuavoid excessively-symbolic production and respond to the common circumstances by focusing moreon art itself. The exhibition, for the first time, will be presented in both the main gallery and the tunnel sub-spaceof Beiqiu Museum of Contemporary Art. The duo exhibition will be unveiled on March 30, 2024,and closed on June 30, 2024. gao lei Artist Gao Lei’s art practice spans multiple media, including installation, sculpture, photography, and painting. Gao often adopts everyday objects and “standardized” industrial products as the essential component, whose works are manipulated through synthetic or abstract regulatory forms, in which the functions, properties, and meanings are tampered with or added through blurring transformation. Thus, they become a scale or model for measuring various domains such as the body, power, consumption, and religion. Through precise material testing and vectorization of graphics, Gao’s works, along with the objects they confront and the questions raised, alternate between spatial and conceptual dimensions, allowing the viewer to re-examine and remeasure our inherent boundaries with the world using a standard other than that of experience. Gao’s works have been the subject of solo exhibitions at White Space (Beijing, China), Arario Gallery (Seoul, Korea), Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, etc. His works have also been exhibited in international art institutions including, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Minsheng Art Museum (Shanghai), Long Museum, Tank Shanghai, Hao Art Museum, Guangdong Times Art Museum, Singapore Art Museum, Institute of Modern Art (Valencia, Spain), Tinguely Museum (Basel, Switzerland), Ludwig Museum im Deutschherrenhaus (Coblence, Germany), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Korea), and others. li nu Artist Li Nu, graduated with an MA in sculpture from Royal College of Art, London, Li Nu won the RBS (Royal British Society of Sculptors) Bursary Awards in 2015 and is a member of the RBS. He currently lives and works in Beijing. Rooted in everyday life, Li Nu’s practice captures personal experiences and subjective feelings and thus reflects shared sentiments of the broader environment, individual’s mood swings, and the collective mental state in the social evolution. Drawn to the accidental, the unexpected, the present rather than techniques or forms, Li resists visual monotony as well as coherent, strategic, stylized methods pursued by many Late Modernists, and explores instead the potentialities of installation, contemporary sculpture, experimental video, events, etc. He subverts the perceived boundaries between documentary and fiction, representation and abstraction, transforming seemingly unpromising materials into metaphorical, piercing, humorous, poetic, and dramatic expressions with multiple connotations. ZHU ZHU Curator Zhu Zhu, a poet, curator, and art critic, was born in September 1969. He has been awarded the Anne Kao Poetry Prize, the Chinese Contemporary Art Award for Criticism (CCAA), and the Hu Shi Poetry Prize. He has authored numerous collections of poetry, essays, and art criticism, including the French edition of poetry collection "Blue Smoke" (2004, translated by Chantal Chen—Andro), "The Grey Carnival—Contemporary Chinese Art Since 2000" (2013, published by Guangxi Normal University Press' "Ideal Country" series, 2016, Taiwan's Eslite Press), "Only One Gram" (2017, Henan University Press), and the English edition of poetry collection "Wild Great Wall" (2018, published by Phoneme Media in the United States).

MEMORIES AND DREAMS: MIRó'S GARDEN 2022.12.10-2023.3.10 artist: joan Miró Joan Miró's creative style underwent transitions from Fauvism and Realism to Surrealism. During his youth, Miró lived in Paris for an extended period, where his interactions with Surrealist poets were immensely beneficial. Poetry broadened his horizons, leading him away from the Realist creative philosophy. This exhibition displays three series of Miró's original pictorial poems. In these works, poetry and painting form a whole, with painting enhancing the expressiveness of the text and the text enhancing the narrative quality of the painting. The ingenious combination of the two creates an infinite space of imagination for the audience.

As a pioneer of Surrealist art, Miró often employed colors and forms in a symbolic manner, crafting intricate compositions and fluid linear styles. He combined abstract elements with recurring motifs (such as birds, eyes, and the moon) to depict the rich and variable inner world of humanity. As an abstract artist of renown, on par with Picasso, Miró's paintings are filled with irrational artistry, with lines and colors freely flowing from the artist's brush, resembling poetry composed of dream-like associations and arbitrary wordplay. This exhibition has carefully selected 20 exemplary works created by Miró, utilizing a variety of materials including watercolor, gouache, Chinese ink, oil paint, and even textiles, showcasing the comprehensive style of Miró's paintings in a highly representative manner. Miró's themes include children, the sun, the moon, stars, birds, eyes, and ladders. The artist simplifies shapes, lines, and colors in his paintings, minimizing the elements to schematize figures and objects. In Miró's view, form is more important than color in painting; he believed that once the form is established, colors will naturally emerge. This exhibition has meticulously selected 20 exemplary works by Miró, created using a diverse range of materials such as watercolors, gouache, Chinese ink, oil paint, and even textiles. These pieces showcase the comprehensive style of Miró's painting, embodying a significant representativeness.

As a pioneer of Surrealist art, Miró often used color and form in symbolic ways to create complex compositions and flowing linear styles. He combined abstract elements with recurring motifs such as birds, eyes, and the moon to express the rich and ever-changing inner world of humanity. Renowned alongside Picasso as an abstract painter, Miró's works are filled with irrational artistry, with lines and colors flowing freely from his brush like a poem composed of dreamlike associations and whimsical wordplay. This exhibition meticulously selects 20 exemplary works by Miró, showcasing the artist's holistic painting style through various materials such as watercolor, gouache, Chinese ink, oil paint, and even textiles, making it highly representative of his oeuvre.

Monster & The Nocturnal Pollinators someone has been disarranging these roses 2023.9.9-2024.1.18 Group exhibition Curator: yang naitian & liu lin Someone Has Been Disarranging These Rosesdelves into the historical and present context of BMCA’s site –Beijige Mountain, and investigates the pivotal role it has played in the evolution of meteorological science in China.Departing from the spectral atmosphere of the museum's locus, the exhibition brings together about 20 artists,architects, and researchers from six countries to create a constellation of artworks engaging with this historicallineage andoffering different perspectives towards the omnipresent reality of climate crisis. Hu Yun, Star , 2017-2018, Meteorite, 3D print, music box, acrylic box, 60×40×12 cm, Commission by OCAT Xi’an, Courtesy of the artist, HOW Art Museum and AIKE Gallery Kadambari Baxi & Research Group,Air Drifts , 2016, HD video accompanied bydrawings, diagrams, and texts, Research group includes Janette Kim, Meg McLagan,David Schiminovich, and Mark Wasiuta, In collaboration with scientists at NASAGlobal Modeling and Assimilation Office, Maryland, US, Courtesy of the artist Beijige serves as a point of convergence for the history and reality of Nanjing and China. It weaves together various elements, including ancient myths / Daoist traditions, solar terms / agricultural activities, modern meteorological science / intellectual individuals in China's modernization process (such as Zhu Kezhen, the founder of the Central Meteorological Observatory in Beijige), as well as civil defense projects / consumer spaces, collectively producing a complex, ambiguous, and romantic environment. The museum's existing spaces further consolidate this essence, blending together mountain terrain, air raid shelters, and the "white cube" gallery environment. The exhibition seeks to portray this compressed moment through image and sound, and to extract the dynamic imagery of wind, rain, cloud, etc. It evolves from the perception of such phenomenon to the intangible existence of data clouds, and ultimately to the cultural and political weather and climate at large. Architect Naitian Yang’s choreography of the exhibition space creates an experience that negotiates with theexisting concrete structure and resonates with the oscillating cadence of weather itself. In a time when weather andclimate issues have transcended theoretical discourse and become an urgent reality, the exhibition endeavors tointegrate people and weather into the same fluid, precarious, and crucial state. The artworks within the exhibitionallude to what might conventionally be termed "bad weather", yet the binary idea of "good / bad" is no longerapplicable to our judgments of weather. Beyond a human-centered perspective, the synthesis of chaos emerges asthe norm of weather, where "good" and "bad" coalesce. It pervades every aspect of existence, whether living or not.

Focusing on the sensory experiences provided by architectural structures and materials and the power relations behind their formal language, he explores the role of belief systems in the built environment. He has worked at AWP Architects in Paris and Jianmeng Studio in Beijing. At Guy Nordenson and Associates Structural Engineering Company in New York, he participated in the design and construction of a number of public cultural buildings and art projects, including Day's End, a sculpture commissioned by David Hammons for the Whitney Museum of Art, and Shenzhen in collaboration with Sou Fujimoto Architects. The Reform and Opening Up Pavilion, and the Emnauel Nine Memorial designed in conjunction with Handel Architects. His writing has been published in Karma International, Serving The People and other platforms. LIU LIN Curator Liu Lin, writer and curator, currently lives and works in Shanghai. Recently, I have focused on exhibition production and technical theory, and tried to discuss the issue of "co-working" through cooperation with creators in different fields. From 2013 to 2021, he worked as a curator at Sifang Contemporary Art Museum and initiated and implemented the "Topography" (2015-2019) project. Some of the planned exhibitions are: "Yanzhong Art Museum" (2016), "Unfinished" (2019) and "Must Dream of This Blue Tonight" (2020), etc.; he regards writing as a method of action and tries to use it in different ways. Experiments were carried out in the field of writing, and some articles were published in media such as ARTFORUM Chinese website, Art News Chinese version, Art-Ba-Ba, Wallpaper, and The Paper.

The museum's principal structure has preserved its original appearance from over twenty years ago and underwent restoration and reinforcement six years prior. The 1,100 square meter area is ingeniously integrated with the verdant hillside garden. The interior of the exhibition halls, constructed with exposed concrete, reflects a blend of industrial and natural aesthetics. This place is a nexus where history, nature, and reality converge, fostering a dialogue between the avant-garde and tradition. Here, the Beiqiu Museum of Contemporary Art (BMCA) engages with the concepts of locality, multimodality, and the uncertainty of contemporary art.
